It’s been 40 years since the Monterey International Pop Festival launched the world into the "Summer of Love", and helped to boost the careers of Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Janis Joplin, Ravi Shankar, The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, and of course, The Mamas and The Papas

I'm responding to BbFS 20 Carolyn Thomas, Univ. of Texas at Austin, which is accessed from the Second Life link on this page. Some helpful ideas (which are at the end of this 35 min. podcast): First, much insight can be gained about teaching and learning when you experience a completely new technological tool, as a "newbie." This is because over time, we have learned so much about using technology that we forget what it was like when we were first learning. Thus (speaking for myself here, but it probably applies to others), it's easy to become desensitized to the needs of students unfamiliar with the technology that is second nature to us. Like Carolyn Thomas, I have had a similar experience learning about how to use Second Life as a virtual environment for teaching. I found that I really needed a reminder about what it's like to learn something new! I encourage all to explore Second Life for this purpose and many others--such as its useful for meeting people around the world, as well as scheduling virtual group meetings for existing contacts (also mentioned by Carolyn in the podcast). A great source for learning more about Second Life is YouTube--there are many videos about it, some are instructional (how to do things in SL). A good place to start is NMC's "Seriously Engaging," located at:http://youtube.com/watch?v=S9VZKTT6gZ8 or search for the title.
